< Bully is too good at martial arts (61) >
[Insufficient points.]
[5000 points are required to take on the third ‘Challenge Mission’.]
The message from the system is displayed as if it is reading Ungyeol’s mind. did.
I raised all my skills to ‘B’ level, but I didn’t have enough points to complete the challenge mission.
The cost of the third ‘Challenge Mission’ is 5000pt, more than three times the cost of the second mission.
Perhaps, after clearing this ‘Challenge Mission’, the identity of the hidden reward ‘???’ will also be revealed.
The entry points were enormous, perhaps because it was a mission with a hidden reward.
The remaining points of Mugyeol are currently 2870 points.
It was quite a lot of points, but there is still a long way to go to 5000pt.
“I guess we should postpone the challenge mission for now.”
If you can’t fulfill your mission, do what you can now.
Ji Kang-joo’s light heavyweight title defense was scheduled for the next month in November, so Mugyeol will have to wait at least several months in order to face Kang-joo Ji.
Until then, it was pretty clear what Mugyeol had to prepare for.
Preparing to move up a weight class.
Fortunately, Fugyeol’s growth plates haven’t closed yet, and he grew 2cm more in the 3 months after the middleweight title fight.
Currently, Mugyeol’s height and weight are 192cm/93kg.
The reach also increased by 2 cm to 207 cm, and the kick reach also increased to 112 cm.
It was encouraging, but Mugyeol did not forget something important.
“It can get you out of balance during the height spurt.”
The important thing in MMA is not simply large size, but perfect balance and stable center of gravity.
No matter how big and heavy it is, if the balance is messed up, it can easily be taken down by opponents smaller than you.
In comparison, players like Frankie Edgar Mendes, Calvin Gastelum, and others have small specs in their weight class, but have a great sense of balance, so they show a strong appearance on the ground.
Moogyeol started powerlifting training and coordination training in earnest to acquire power suitable for his increased size and develop a sense of balance.
Training to lift heavy objects, increase explosiveness and strength, increase muscle mass, and maintain a sense of balance at the same time.
After immersing himself in steel for about a month, Mugyeol seemed to know why Choi Seok-doo was so immersed in powerlifting.
It was quite thrilling to be able to lift heavy weights the more I practiced.
Could it be because of the SSS-class body potential?
Shortly after starting powerlifting, the record of no-gyeol far surpassed Choi Seok-doo’s three major lifting records in the past.
Kyle Chandler, who came to Korea to help Mugyeol after his WFC debut match, helped a lot.
Kyle was also a ‘powerlifting believer’ who had been steadily training powerlifting since his days as a wrestler.
“You can’t just focus on lifting a lot of weight. There are a lot of guys in the WFC who were obsessed with powerlifting, but then got frustrated because their speed slowed down.”
“okay. You mean you can’t just listen a lot, right?”
“okay. What’s your record now?”
“About this much.”
Mugyeol lightly relaxed and lifted 500lbs (approximately 226kg) with a conventional deadlift.
After that, squat 480lbs (about 217kg) and bench press 330lbs (about 149kg) pushed.
Seeing this, Kyle couldn’t help but be astonished.
It’s definitely not a posture that has been in powerlifting for a long time.
I haven’t been able to use my muscles properly yet, and my range of motion is not perfect.
Even so, it is a superpower to pull out 226kg with simple strength (power)!
However, it was Kyle who suddenly worried for nothing.
“I’m worried that you’ll slow down if you do this…”
“Really?”
It was natural for Kyle to be concerned.
The advantage of a player moving up to a higher weight class would be his superior speed over those of a higher weight class.
If you lose your speed because of your obsession with powerlifting, you’re wasting that great advantage.
“I guess I should try sparring.”
To confirm his flawless speed, Kyle climbed the octagon himself.
and 4 minutes later.
Puck puck poop bobbuck–!!
After just one round, Kyle realized that he was worrying for nothing.
“Hee-B-H-H-.”
The flawless speed did not slow down at all.
Rather, the increased size and reach even put more pressure on Kyle.
“It must have been a mistake to judge you based on common sense. I’m sorry.”
“no. I must have said it because I was worried about everything.”
“That’s right.”
It was just that the worry was for nothing.
“However, it is better to adopt a weightlifting training method rather than simple powerlifting to save explosive power.”
Saying that, Kyle taught Mugyeol the power clean clean & jerk movement of the weightlifting style.
“If you combine this training, you can increase your power and bring explosive power at the same time.”
“Oh are you okay?”
Then Ben came back the very next week and gave me everything to increase my flexibility.
“Have you started powerlifting flawlessly?”
“huh.”
“I know that? Flexibility is very important even when lifting heavy things!”
Greater flexibility means greater range of motion.
Securing a range of motion means that you can draw more muscle power to that extent.
Strength and flexibility must be developed evenly at the same time so that you do not lose balance while moving up the weight class.
Absolute weight training was moving forward smoothly with the help of Brother Chandler.

November, when Mugyeol was concentrating on his light heavyweight division.
The main event of RCF 107 was light heavyweight champion Ji Kang-joo.
[RCF 107 long-awaited main event–!! The Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul is full of wild cheers from men!!]
[Most of them must be the audience who came to see this man!! RCF Light Heavyweight Champion A man with invincible strength!! ‘Geumgang Bulgogi’ Ji Kang-ju–!!]
Champion Ji Kang-ju raised both hands as if in response to the audience’s cheers.
The wild cheers that filled the Jangchung Gymnasium chanted his name.
Whether he won or lost, his style of hot hitting and beating was especially favored by men.
His opponent is Dalay Promes, a former Dutch heavyweight kickboxer.
As Promes lacked grappling, many expected the champion’s ground game.
However, Ji Kang-ju showed off a hot strike from the beginning.
Pew pew pew pew pew–!!
Throughout the 3rd round, Jangchung Gymnasium was full of bloody blows.
Every time they hit each other in the face, the cheers of the audience resonated as if they would destroy the Jangchung Gymnasium.
And finally round 3.
Ji Kang-joo’s bloody elbow shot hit Promes’ temple and sank him.
Despite winning, Ji Kang-ju, who was in a state of disrepair, raised both hands and shouted cheers.
“Aaaaaaaaaaa!!”
[It was Ji Kang-ju who took control of the game at the end of the nanta battle!! Round 3 Elbow Shot KO!! The champion finishes the fifth defense battle with victory!!]
[The bloody face is proof of the fierce battle!! I don’t know if an interview with Ji Kang-ju is possible!!]
After exchanging a strong hug with Promes, Kang-ju Ji took the microphone and expressed his feelings about victory.
“I think I will be robbed by the coach again. I told you to go to the ground, but you know my personality.”
“Wahhaha But it was a gift to the fans!”
“yes. Today, I burned this body to be worth the price of the ticket. Did everyone enjoy it-!”
Yes–!!
The answer that filled the stadium made him realize his popularity.
Defensive battle after about a year after recovering from injury.
However, Ji Kang-joo continued to delight fans with his hot style.
“Oh, one more word.”
“yes. Do whatever you want!”
“There are rumors that some high school student is hitting the middleweight class these days. Did you say flawless tea?”
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
When the name of Innocent was mentioned, the venue heated up once again.
“I have no intention of avoiding that friend. I don’t know how much the suspension will cost, but when that’s over and we’re both ready, let’s split up right away.”
“Iya is also the champion of Jigangju. The fans will be waiting for that game too!”
“However, the light heavyweight division is no joke, so make sure to increase your weight before coming up.”
Saying that, Ji Kang-joo thrust his battered face into the camera.
“See? If you fight with your brother, you will have to prepare for that pretty face to be smashed.”
* * *
After successfully completing the 5th defense in mid-November, Kangju Ji received a total of 4 months of medical suspension.
The suspension was rather light considering the battle of the souls he waged.
“Then, in about six months, around May of next year, we can go to the title match.”
“I guess so.”
“good. Enough time to prepare for the increase!”
Im Jin-soo seemed to like the long preparation period, but Mu-gyeol was itchy.
The Chandler brothers have also returned to the United States, and Seokjinman’s legs haven’t recovered, so he can’t even spar, let alone fight, for the time being.
I wanted to find a sense by doing a ‘Challenge Mission’, but I still have to collect about 3000 points to do the mission.
“…brother.”
“why?”
“Your brother is 37 this year, right?”
“yes. I will be 38 soon.”
“Isn’t that enough for active duty yet?”
“hmm? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Overeem is a heavyweight contender even in his 40s.”
“So what is that all of a sudden…”
“Won’t hyung still be able to fight?”
“Hmm?”
“How about sparring with me in full contact…”
“Haha, this guy is joking again.”
“I’m not kidding.”
The innocent eyes that said that were blazing with fire.
“I’m going crazy wanting to fight.”
“You crazy bastard! What’s wrong with your eyes!?”
“Brother, fight me just once.”
“You are the middleweight champion! I’m just a neighborhood guy now!”
“I’ll take it easy. huh?”
“Fuck you six packs…”
Im Jin-soo waved his hands as if he was absurd, avoiding Moo-gyeol.
“The crazy thing about this bastard is the same as that dead guy, very.”
“How can you not?”
“Don’t be noisy dude! Are you telling me to attack the old man when honoring the old man isn’t enough?”
Saying that, Im Jin-soo picked up a leaflet and threw it away.
[The 4th Scorpion Jiu-Jitsu Championship. Application for entry: scorpionjj.co.kr]
“If you want to fight like that, go to that tournament dude.”
“What is this?”
“Can’t you see? I am not a Scorpion in the country’s leading Jiu-Jitsu competition.”
“…….”
“If you hit a bit like in MMA, if you go there, you’ll probably get kicked out without even wearing a side…”
“Thank you hyung!”
“what? What else are you thankful for?”
“I have to get out of here.”
“really? You’re going to a jiu-jitsu competition!?”
“My brother told me to leave.”
“That was a joke. Yumma Jiu-Jitsu is completely different from MMA!”
“So wouldn’t that be fun?”
Unknowingly, the flawless eyes were shining brightly.
“Oh hey, don’t whine after dropping out in the first round.”
“You have to do it to know.”
There was a reason for Moo Kyul’s determination.
About six months until the light heavyweight title fight.
It is an opportunity to verify the jiu-jitsu that was raised to the ‘B’ level before that.
What’s more, the new status window popped up in front of me.
[Activate the fight mission ‘Scorpion King’.]
[Win the ‘absolute’ weight class of the Scorpion Jiu-Jitsu Championship!]
[Reward: 3000pt]
With these points, you will be able to complete the third challenge mission.
“The goal is to win unconditionally.”
Mugyeol read the recruitment guidelines with her eyes shining.
In the meantime, I paused at one point and looked at Im Jin-soo.
“uh? But what is this?”
“What?”
“I heard that you have to have a jiu-jitsu gym to go out?”
“Puhaha, that’s right. You don’t even have a belt in Jiu-Jitsu.”
“That’s right…”
“It’s okay dude. What kind of jiu-jitsu competition is this? They only sell sides for no reason.”
However, the will of innocence was still burning.
“brother.”
“Why again?”
“Is there a jiu-jitsu gym you know?”
“Why is there?”
“Go and get a white belt.”
“…?”
* * *
After begging and begging Im Jin-soo, Moo-gyeol was barely introduced to a small jiu-jitsu gym.
Moogyeol went to Golden Gym, the gym of black belt director Jang Won-jin, and immediately completed the registration process and received a 0 gram white belt (the lowest grade belt received upon entering Jiu-Jitsu).
“I’m going to the competition… it must be hard to use it…”
Director Jang Won-jin scratched his head while studying the belt.
As such, Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that is difficult to overcome no matter how good your physical skills are if you lack an understanding of the technique.
However, unlike the color of the belt worn around his waist, Mugyeol’s mind already had a ‘B’ grade jiu-jitsu technique.
In addition, the power and flexibility that had been steadily cultivated over the past few months wriggled inside the flawless body.
Now is the time to verify your grappling ability following hitting.
And I’m taking on my third challenge mission by winning 3000 points.
Mugyeol applied for the ‘absolute’ weight class of ‘unlimited weight class unlimited belt’.
The existing Absolute weight class had a belt limit, but Scorpion’s Absolute lifted the belt limit in particular.
In general, it is a weight class that only strong people who have trained jiu-jitsu for many years above blue belts participate.
A total of 95 people applied for the tournament, and the only white belt among them was unqualified.
Competing in the absolute class with a 0-gram white belt!
“Isn’t he a martial artist?”
“Do you think it’s a tournament where hitting is possible?”
“You seem to be doing well these days…”
“You’re a bit arrogant.”
An unprecedented white belt absolute class appearance.
It wasn’t unreasonable that people were whispering.
Most of them criticized the impudent arrogance.
At the beginning of the tournament, the opponent who was stuck with no result even called delight.
However, they are here today to face the most bizarre moment in the history of the Scorpion Championship.
